Do you trust yourself?

When you have self-love, you no longer live your life according to other people's opinions. You don't need other people to accept you or tell you how good you are because you know what you are." ~ Don Miguel Ruiz

She asked me " Do you keep the agreements you make with yourself?" Of course I had to think about that for a moment. So you make agreements with yourself and then you proceed to break them and expect to either keep agreements with other people or for people to keep agreements with you!? Interesting. Making a comittment to yourself is important it builds self trust and and once you trust yourself then you can trust others, trust is a simple process. You either trust or you don't! and you build trust by doing what you say you will do, keeping the committments to yourself.

So what did I learn today?
If you don't trust yourself how will you experience the peace of doing the best thing versus the never ending anxiety of only ever being afraid of the worst thing happening. Reactionary. In this space it is hard to find the pace to set the heart to beat in order to complete the single task of making productive decisions.
Peace!!
